1495 mint master in Meran, records 1496 with Hans Kraus, goldsmith

In 1477 the mint in Tyrol was moved to Hall, Austria. Eventually, I suspect he moved to Nuremberg and became involved in the minting of money.

The Tiruler Geldwesen under Archduke Sigmond.

II. Carrying out the personal details of the new coin of Hall, they consist at first of a mintmaster, as supreme head of the whole, a board member of the department for the gold coinage and a mint writer. These persons are listed on the invoice as salaried and thus hold the position of civil servants. In contrast, the iron engraver, the tempter, the mover, the silver burner, the potkeeper, and Weissbrenner, as well as the journeymen, receive a reward from the journeymen of silver and gold coins. However, in the lifetime of the first coin-master Hermann Grünhofer, there was a transitional relationship ending with his death.

Grünhofer is called from the beginning of the Haller coin as their mint master. Since he had been appointed as coinmaster of the Merano coin after Luke Kuchenmann's copy of Duke Sigmund's deed of 1473, it is probable that he was transferred from there directly to Hall. His connection with Merano also recalls that, according to several book entries, he still received silver from Meran in 1478, which he had still bought there himself. It is noteworthy, however, that the paragraph "Münzmeister seine Sold" remains open during Grünhofer's lifetime. It is clear from this that Grünhofer did not in fact receive any salary in Hall; rather, his income from this position consisted in the profits of the business of the coin. The clearance of the accounts states in each case that the surplus forms a demand of the archduke to the master of the mint or vice versa.
_____________________________________________________________________________ Certificate, the Schwazer fire in the six and cruisers with 15 Lot, in the Fieren but with 14 ½ Lot is set. Also in the year 1513 notes the F. M.: Silver Schwazer brand holds the mark fine 14 1/3 Lot. Ladurner 307. My guess is that everywhere in the manuscripts the Schwazer Brand with ?iiii? (14 ½) Lot was given fine, which then spilter erroneously for ?iiii? (15) has been read. In this way the Schwazer fire is described in a document of King Maximilian of 1496. For us the matter is of no great importance, since all redeemed silver was burned before the coinage again, because it brittleness because of the delivered condition for currency unsuitable would.

Also, the board of the gold coinage, Bernhard Beheim, does not receive a pay in this time. He receives the necessary gold and silver and the other material from the hands of the Master of the Mint. At the same time, he also provides the place of the tempter of the silver coin, for which, however, he draws his wages bar 51). He is also referred to in the calculations as Bernhard (the) goldsmith or simply as Master Berhard.52)

Grünhofer resigns in the summer of 1482 and is succeeded by Bernhard Beheim in office with a Münzmeistersold of 200 marks, which he refers to Monday after Nativitatis Mariae this year.53) Grünhofers inheritance is for his "Remincnz", this is his demand on the Archduke from the holdings of 1481 and 1482 in the amount of 714 fl. Rh. 1 Pf. 6 Kr. 3 P. recognized. (Entry 1482 in "Aintzige Kostung".) The current ingestion of the coin until its death is calculated at 43,076 fl.

Page 71
from 45 fl. Rh. 2 Pf. 6 Kr. 2 F. 2-1 / 2 P. The position of Grünhofer on the Haller coin was thus still a middle ground between an official and a coin tenant, which also finds a significant expression in this that Grünhofer appears as a silver supplier for his own account in Hall not insignificant involved. A certain quantity of the silver which he has brought into the coin is called "granted to him" in the Haller bills, that is free of deduction of the sweetheart and this allowance was thought to have paid in particular for his services as mintmaster. He delivers other silver to the coin without this freeing.54)

51) His last reward for this, before he himself advances to minting, takes place in 1482 for the period from St. Dorothea (6 February) to Monday after St. Jacob's Day, 29 July, with 4 Fierern of 3 Marks Vienna weight from 3261 M 3 L. 1 Q. and from the same quantity the codec Sigmund Yseregker obtains the Augzieherlohn with 1 Fierer of the Mark.
52) After a note in the Sch. A. Rep. (Ladurner 292) he was in 1474 still goldsmith to Innsbruck. See also below page 134 for 1479.
53) This day, the 9th of September, 1482, is repeatedly cited in the computation book for 1482, in which it is clear that on this very day Berhard Beheim took office as Hall's mintmaster. The passing away of Hermann Grünhofer at that time is announced in the following manner by Haller account book for 1482 (conclusion Maria Lichtmeß 1484). 1. After the totaling of the expenses is noted: "And the Restat as Grünhofer abgeschaiden is (2) After the clearance is noted:" In the restatget from the Munntzzewg (coin), the front of Herman Grünhofers has been and the same stuff. TIGL. Anpas. Reitterpek. Hammers. Zanngen. And not excepted otherwise, Herman Grünhofer has everything to my genious master.

neighborhood, the original Meran ] but sold it around 1487. Hermann’s brother Pranz also worked as a coinmaker in
Hall in 1486. In 1488 he returned to Meran, where he was the husband of Margareta, the heiress of the rich Heinrich
Greu.haber, wealthy, and remained there until his death in 1498.

From the some information about the great trades and smelters of the first century of the farms of the lower Inn valley it is evident that the foreign enterprise had intervened only late, only at a time when the Tänntzl, Ftiger u. s. w. For a long time, and with the greatest success, they had been working to transform the treasures of the native earth by thousands of hands into those commodities which the "builders" sought for their monopolistic trade and which they finally endeavored to produce themselves. The importance of local entrepreneurship is even better illustrated by tracking the amount of total production. As early as 1486, the second highest production figure was achieved on the Falkenstein, with all the yields ever achieved: 52,663 marks of burning silver were produced. At that time neither Baumgartner nor Fugger "the Hochstetter or Pümel built; cs are mainly Tänntzl, Füger, v. Ross, Jaufner, Perl, Hofer and Grünhofer the producers, and only Peter Ruml of Nuremberg can compete with the latter or with Jaufner. The highest Falkensteiner production ever falls in the year 1523: 55 855 Mark. Of these, however, more than 14,000 marks belong solely to Hans Baumgartner,

I really do not know where to place this tidbit of information about Peter Grünhofer of Regensburg.

Grunhofer, Christoph, tradesman, benefactor, died between 21 Sept. and 14 Dec. 1519 in Nuremberg.  Married Ursula ( died June 1527 ), daughter of Hans Schlüsselfelder II.  Since 1486 provable.  1501-19 named.  In 1497, he donated to the St Sebaldus Church [ across the Albrecht-Dürer-Platz from the Old City Hall ] a vestment of blue damask with gold stars, which was provided with the escutcheons of the Grunters and the Schüsselfelders.  Around 1500, his property was estimated by Christoph Scheurl at 1000 florins.  He owned the property at Heugäßchen [ “Hay Alley”, 355 yards east of St Sebaldus Church ] 6 in 1492, the same year he bought the house at Heugäßchen 12.  In 1509 he bought the house at Heugäßchen 9.  In 1501 he bought the manor of Hummelstein [ now a neighborhood on the south side of Nuremberg, 1.6 miles southeast of St Sebaldus Church ].  In 1509 he appeared in the final statement on the printing of the Schedelschen Weltchronik [ Schedel's Chronicle of the World ], which he had probably co-financed.  Lit.:  Roth. 1802; Hampe, 1928, p. 193; Zahn, 1991, p. 188; Kohn, NHb Sebald.

From Wilbur Hanson Kalb
It was the publication of the Nuremberg Chronicle.  Published in 1493, it was an instant bestseller in both Latin and German, not just in Germany but all over Europe.  Only the Holy Bible sold better.  The scholars and the Church knew the Nuremberg Chronicle by its Latin title, Liber Chronicarum [ Book of Chronicles ] but everybody else, including Christoph Grunhofer, knew it by its German title, Der Schedelschen Weltchronik.

Grunhofer might have thought that he was making money from a sure thing but the 1509 summary showed that 539 Latin editions and 60 German editions were still left in stock.  Perhaps the prices might have been a problem — the version with black-and-white illustrations cost three guilders but the one with hand-colored illustrations cost six guilders.  But Grunhofer shouldn’t feel disappointed. That book was still, as the late Ed Sullivan might say, a “really big deal” and Grunhofer will forever be in the books in all languages about the Nuremberg Chronicle so he really did get his money’s worth after all.

You can read more about the Nuremberg Chronicle at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_Chronicle and its author, Dr Hartmann Schedel ( 1440 - 1514 ), at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartmann_Schedel.  The illustrators were Michael Wohlgemut and his step-son, Wilhelm Pleydenwurff, with assistance from Albrecht Dürer and possibly the Rosenthaler Brothers. Here’s an example of their labors from the book, a traveler’s view of Nuremberg, with St Sebaldus’s Church identified. This printing is used as Christoph's portrait.

Figure location and directions
Manor house, former fortified manor house
Hummelstein 45
City of Nuremberg

One of the better known fortified manor houses in the south of the city of Nuremberg is Hummelstein. Its formation was preceded by the fact that the council of the imperial city in 1487 the Council jur. Nikolaus Hummel on inheritance several ponds left. In May 1487, the acquirer was then allowed to "pawen a lusthewlein" to his weyer, which should receive a massive basement storey. After the death of Nikolaus Hummel in 1501, the new summer residence came to Christoph Grünhofer. Allegedly, the Weiherhaus is said to have been destroyed in 1502 in connection with the Battle of Affalterbach by troops of the Margrave Casimir. However, in the exploration of the land area ordered by the council shortly before the outbreak of the Landshut War of Succession in 1504, "the Hummels weyerhaus" was noted with no restrictions whatsoever.

The seat fell in 1520 Anton Tetzel, after the widow Ursula Grünhofer was in financial trouble and had to sell. Wolf Horneck soon became the owner and in 1526 had a very extensive conversion carried out, which brought with it a significant expansion and attachment of the seat. In this measure, a outside corridor was built with four round corner towers as a punishment, provoking the Margrave to a vain suit at the Imperial Court.

In 1528, the new headquarters was in the hands of Dr. Ing. Sebald Horneck, who at that time was privileged by the council with a firewood law. This message also makes it clear that the seat was not a traditional, forested property. On Horneck followed by a marriage with Ursula Horneck of Montanunternehmer Kilian Flentz as owner. He was co-owner of the mining company Flentz & Tramel, which also operated the metallurgical plant at Dutzendteich. Flentz probably died before 1550. As a widow Ursula Flentz experienced in the Second Margrave War, as the castle was burnt down on May 24, 1552.

The ruin was initially not rebuilt. After the death of the widow, the destroyed property was sold by the heirs to the Nuremberg citizen and merchant Christoph Freydell / Friedell. The remains of the three-storey, tower-like main building were demolished and replaced by a building with a massive earthwork and a timber-framed upper floor, which was not built exactly in the old location. It is not certain whether the construction report from 1583, according to which Freydell's son of the same name had applied to the forestry department Timber for the "projecting speeches half to Hummelstein", refers to this building or outbuilding. The younger Freydell died in early 1591 leaving behind underage children. Their guardians Hummelstein sold in March 1593 to the robe dealer Melchior Büttel.

Apparently, the new building under the previous owner was not just high-quality, because around 1607 he was already considerably dilapidated and for Büttels claims too small. After the originally planned extension of the forestry office had been prohibited, Büttel wanted 1607 still satisfied with an expansion of the roof and the renovation of the stables and the gardener's apartment. In 1613 he decided then but to demolish the mansion and a three-storey new building on the bottom of the 1552 destroyed castle.

However, the imperial city wanted to enforce a restriction to a two-storey construction, as the second floor of the destroyed predecessor allegedly consisted only of a gun ground, were placed on the four cannons. The death of Büttel in 1614 and the outbreak of the 30-year war prevented further measures, which had also been pursued for a time by the community of heirs. She then agreed to a transfer to co-heir Veit Christoph Büttel, who emigrated to 1625 to Amsterdam. Büttel's brother-in-law, the Princely Brandenburg Councilor Christoph Agricola, married to Anna Sabina Büttel, acquired the seat as curator of his two underage daughters. Agricola wanted 1639 expand the stables in the forecourt. He did not stick to building regulations and argued for many years with the forest office and the council of the imperial city. The authorities also accused him of operating unauthorized cookers and transferring landmarks.

Probably by marriage with Anna Maria Agricola Georg Waldmann arrived from Neustadt / Aisch to the property, which is said to have sold him, meanwhile considerably dilapidated, before 1683 to the council clerk Johann Wöhrlein. In 1691, Dr. med. Michael Friedrich Lochner the degenerate Ansitz. Lochner was a well-known naturalist, was one of the Nuremberg scholar circle around Johann Christoph Volkamer and later became director of the Leopoldina, the Imperial Academy of Sciences in Vienna. In Hummelstein, the scientist first created an artful bitter orange and lemon garden, which included the construction of an orangery for wintering the plants. On this occasion, it was first known that the Swedes in 1632 had created a hill in the castle garden, which has now been eliminated. After Dr. Lochner 1703 had built a new horse stable, he requested in 1706 the new building of the manor, whose dilapidation allegedly no longer allowed a safe dwelling. In the end, the new building was transformed into an extensive conversion and extension. 1710 was followed by a major renovation of the economy building and 1720 the Voithaus.

With the death of the builder in 1720 Hummelstein fell to the daughter Anna Maria, with the doctor. Christoph Ludwig Goeckel was married. From this marriage, four sons emerged, who inherited in 1759, but apparently did not even leave male heirs. The widow of Dr. jur. Heinrich Lorenz Goeckel sold the estate in 1774 to the deacon of St. Lawrence Hieronymus Conrad Wagner. The new owner had to endure in 1814 the seizure of the castle by the imperial Russian army. The military set up a powder and cartridge factory in the manor, causing great damage to the equipment. Even the ornate fountain in the garden should have been destroyed on this occasion.

After Wagner's death in 1820 had the daughter Carolina Maria, widowed Balbach, the manor until 1855. The Rostock Consul Paul Howitz acquired him and let the mansion by Karl Alexander Heideloff neo-Gothic redesign. According to plans of the master builder, the historicist chapel was also built in the garden, where Howitz was buried in 1880. The Heirs community Howitz sold the manor in 1895 to the city of Nuremberg, in 1925 at the castle create a school garden.
